AC Milan are moving quickly to secure the long-term future of one of their standout players. According to reports, Christian Pulisic is set to sign a contract extension that includes a pay increase, while teammate Theo Hernandez faces a different scenario regarding his renewal.
Christian Pulisic Contract Extension: Deal Until 2029 With Salary Increase
In a major boost for fans of the Rossoneri and the USMNT alike, Christian Pulisic is reportedly close to agreeing a contract extension with AC Milan. The 26-year-old winger has enjoyed an impressive second season in Serie A, scoring 16 goals across all competitions, making him Milan’s top scorer.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pulisic’s current deal—originally set to expire in 2027—will be extended until 2029, with his annual salary rising from €4 million to €5 million per year. The club is said to be delighted with the American’s impact and eager to secure his services well into the future.
AC Milan Transfer News: No Pay Rise for Theo Hernandez in Extension Talks
While Pulisic is being rewarded for his form, Theo Hernandez finds himself in a far less favorable position. The French full-back is reportedly experiencing a dip in performance, leading Milan to pause negotiations on any significant wage increase.
Theo’s current contract runs until 2026, and although the club is expected to offer an extension to 2027, it will not include a raise in salary. Sources claim that talks over improved terms collapsed weeks ago, and it remains uncertain whether the 27-year-old will accept the proposed terms.
Will AC Milan Lose Theo Hernandez?
With just one year remaining on his contract after this season, there’s growing concern that Milan could lose Theo Hernandez on a free transfer if an agreement isn’t reached soon. The Rossoneri may be forced to consider selling the defender during the next transfer window if he rejects the extension.
Theo’s form has come under scrutiny this season, and the club seems unwilling to stretch its wage budget further without consistent top-tier performances from the French international.
Ultimately, AC Milan are clearly addressing their priorities, locking down Christian Pulisic with a long-term contract and salary increase, while taking a more cautious approach with Theo Hernandez. As the summer transfer window approaches, it will be interesting to see how both situations unfold.
